Can you explain more what is half-baked about ES6 modules? To me the logic and syntax of how imports [1] and exports [2] are organized seems clean, but maybe I'm missing something?

Sure the interoperability between things that do and do not (pure ES6) require a build/bundle/whatever, and between JavaScript and TypeScript may remain an engineering challenge, but that's not for the ES6 modules spec to solve, right?
